Pskov police officers who sold 20 police cars for a penny will finally face trial.
According to investigators, six police officers created a criminal group and over the course of several years kidnapped Funds allocated for the maintenance of official vehicles. They also demanded 10% kickbacks from the owners of the workshop that won government contracts for vehicle repairs.
The largest scam occurred in 2019, when police officers scrapped 20 official vehicles, valuing them at one kopeck.
Criminal cases against them excited back in 2021, but a verdict on some incidents has still not been reached. For example, in November of last year Pskov urban court ordered one of the cases returned to the prosecutor to address violations of criminal procedure law. However, according to Pskovskaya Gubernia, this decision was ultimately overturned in the appellate court, which demanded re-examine the case and change the judge.
Two high-ranking officers are in the dock: the former deputy head of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs Vitaly Ustyantsev and the former deputy head of the police economic support center Evgeny Azarov.
